@bigblock you did a super job there.
I have a slightly odd question for you knowledgeable people:
Does anyone have (or even just know if they exist?!) a stem with a smaller bottom section than for 1” steerer? Reason: A good friend, who welds a lot, is teaching himself how to braze frames ... he bought ‘practice’ tubes from Ceeway, I suppose what some call a ‘gaspipe’ frame tubeset, to start off. He’s already assembled his fork, then discovered the internal diameter of the steerer is 20.6mm, something like 13/16”... he seems to have gathered this may have been a common internal diameter at some distant point in the past, perhaps even pre-lightweight era, or kids’ bikes perhaps, who knows?
Does anyone have any knowledge of such a standard?
